I also noticed the search is pretty awful. I published a library that was impossible to find (even if written in full) because hitting 'enter' after a search just went to a more popular library that must have a closely matching term somewhere in their keywords or description.
So my only option for making the library findable at all, was to use a word that was unlikely to appear in any other fields of other packages. I settled on a dutch translation of one of the concepts used in the package, that would still have a predictable spelling if an English speaker heard it.
It's unfortunate, because the implication is that if you want your package to be found at all (assuming you already know the full name of the package, not even talking about discoverability), you need to pick a name that's unlikely to have any bearing on the function of the package.
